King Aedanicus VIII's interest in urban renewal | [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] was, by the middle of the 19th century, a crowded, dirty, and growing city, as was common of large cities during the Industrial Revolution. King [[Aedanicus VIII]]'s interest in urban renewal during this period lead to the creation of the park out of several parks on the Pale, especially including the Royal Garden of the [[Julian Palace]], into one expansive park running the length of the old urban core. The [[Levantine Forum]] was also included, expanding the park northward. The park's construction began in 1861 and concluded in 1867, displacing many government structures. Scholars have estimated that the park's construction did "irreperable damage" to ancient Levantine ruins that exist in the area of the park's construction, and several medieval structures were demolished to clear the way for the park. Much of the rush was attributable to the upcoming 1869 World's Fair that was to be held in Urceopolis. | ||
